Which of the following reproduce by producing spores?
A. Jasmines
B. Roses
C. Ferns
D. Pomegranate

Explanation

Solution

These are also known as pteridophytes. They have well-differentiated roots, stem, and leaves. The body of these is sporophytic.

Step by step answer: Most ferns are leafy and grow in moist areas and in the canopy of the forest. They are the vascular plants that have well-developed internal vein-like structures. It helps to promote the flow of nutrients and water.
Ferns reproduce from spores and the Jasmine, pomegranate, and rose are reproduced by seeds as these are vascular plants.
Hence, the correct answer is option C. Fern

Additional Information:
Vegetative reproduction is seen in the case of ferns. This takes place by fragmentation of rhizome, adventitious buds, etc.
In the sporangia, the spores are produced. The sporangia are present in the ventral surface of the leaves.
Sporangia occur in a cluster called sori and the leaves that bear sporangia are called sporophylls.
Sporophylls have two types of sporangia – mega and microsporangia.
Sporophylls are either uniformly distributed or aggregated into compact cones, called the strobili, which is present at the apex of the stem. In the case of aquatic ferns, for example, Azolla, Salvinia , and Marsilea the sporangia are present within specialized structures called sporocarps.

Note: Pteridophytes are vascular plants and have sporophytic plant bodies. They produce two types of spores- homosporous and heterosporous. They have four classes: Psilopsida, Lycopsida, Sphenopsida, and Filicopsida.
